AN ASIATIC LOCUST 



After several moults the locust is a perfect, winged insect. 

 Immediately after the skin-casting it is soft and helpless, but a 

 short time in the sunlight makes it firm and vigorous. The 

 lower wings are fan-shaped, and fold up longitudinally under the 

 longer, narrow and spotted outer wings.
